I am an outreach resource coordinator. I work with the Adele Women Association in the Upper Volta area of Ghana and the Permaculture Network of eco-farmers. Transportation is a problem and by donating a bike such as yours it will give the women more mobility. I have been thinking about bikes as gifts, but do to financial crisis I have practically no extra cash after rent, food, transporation, etc.Our villagers are poor and your bike the Strida will be well received.I can be reached by email at belrivers@gmail.com.I'm even having problems keeping a phone on. But, I continue to do my work with little resources. I need this bike to be sent to Ghana. I am an outreach resource coordinator.

Given the choice I'd go for that one, but the front and the back are required in different proportions under varying conditions. The learning of how much pressure to apply to each at any given time is an art, Just when you think you have it down, you learn that you don't. Riding is an ongoing education, but a rewarding one.I like the bike. Front brakes are responsible for most of the major stopping power.

Otherwise realy realy cool, I'd like one. Is the front brake needed? doesn’t it just add cost and weight to the bike? Otherwise realy realy cool, I’d like one.

As a single speed bike, it's relatively slow, but it folds so quickly that combined with a good public transit system you can have an amazingly quick commute. You also get a ton of comments and questions from people on the street, even without the extremely tight pants featured above. I have the previous version of this bike, and it is terrific.
